hi-yellow in kickboxing and I have a green in taekwondo from a while back.

I train kickboxing 2 times a week, 1 hour each, and 1 class of jiu-jitsu a week for about 2 hours. YS

I just had my first jui-jitsu class this weekend. It was an eye opener to say the least And today I am very very sore. I am wondering if anyone here takes glucosamine for there joints, or any other type of supplements. Hopfully the sorness will get less and less with each lesson. So anyone have any input?? Thanks! YS

The guy sounds like a real dink. If you KNOW you can beat him 100%, then just do it to shut him up. This would be a last resort though. Heck, if he ain't your friend, go for a break But then I would be worried of him/parents (I dont know your age) taking legal action. People like that should just be ignored. But in your case if he is actual attacking trying to throw you and what not, I would attack back. It's a bad place out there somtimes. Also, try not to hang out with them anymore. If you know he's going to be where your headed, if you can, try and avoid going. Just cut off communication with him. YS

Wow! I totally agree with everything you said. In my opinion, my school does too many pushups, situps etc. I think also that if we train 110% and never quite moving we should be in EXCELLENT cardio shape. Our classes are only 1 hour long, which somtimes seems a little short. Wish I had an instructor like yourself. YS

G95champ - I train in kickboxing and starting next week, ju-jitsu. I am not too familiar how things works at other schools with viewing black belt testing. And to tell you the truth, he held the black belt testing at our Christmas party, lol. Which had a huge crowd lol. That probably seems really weird to you. Also, next month is our schools 3 year anniversary party, and our head instructor is flying his Master out here so he can test for his 3rd degree and assistant master. Which he will be testing in front of the whole school, friends and family. As for calling it a fitness test, I guess you could. I probably left out a bunch of stuff he did. Like in the morning, he was woken up at 6 by our head instructor and made to go to a long long run. Also, just demonstrating techniques with kicks and punches. I believe he was also made to do a pre-test with his advanced class and other BBs. I guess the 'test' we all got to watch, was pretty much just a show. Still, it was interesting. And thanks to everyone else for your response! YS

My kickboxing is white, yellow, high-yellow, orange, high-orange, green, high-green, brown, high-brown, black. YS

Thanks for the warm welcome!!! YS

Wanna say hello to everyone! I'm new here and am currently training in kickboxing, and in a couple weeks will start ju-jitsu YS

Hello. I am new to the site and would like to say hello My question is this. I recently watched my first black belt test. One of the assistant instructors at my club. And I am wondering what your routines/testing was like and what you had to do. This test had some things like this: 1 hour long board breaking 1 weapons kata 1 belt kata 100 pushups 300 situps 10 1 arm pushups (each arm) 50 jumping spin kicks 30 jumping spin kicks (other leg) Did a little bit of drills made up on the spot calling out what to do And maybe a couple other things I cannot remember. I am still a ways away from getting my black, but I am curious to know what others were made to do on there black belt test. Thanks!
